I'm going to have to do some serious research into this technique. I have severe FMS and apparently Nordic Walking can assist over "normal / other forms" of walking ... Nordic Walking in Fibromyalgia - Kim D Jones, Arthritis Research & Therapy. 2011;13(1) © 2011 BioMed Central, Ltd.

As with any new skill, start nice and easy. Try Nordic Walking (and do learn optimal technique) for 5 minutes once or twice a day. Work up incrementally so that your body accepts the new movement. Celebrate small victories and then build on them. I cannot stress this enough.

Progressively learning a new skill is the way to achieve muscle memory. For more info: visit PolesForMobility (dot) com

Enjoy! jayah

Why is this better than regular walking for exercise? All I see is that your using some muscles in your arm, but that's all...

Good Question, thanks!

Nordic Walking improves focus and spine function - significantly, not just a little bit!

We lose spine function as we age; Nordic Walking helps to rotate and elongate the spine by recruiting the muscles that support the spine - specifically the latissimus dorsi, lower trapezius and oblique muscles. Once you feel the power, the lengthened stride, the improved endurance, you'll love the attitude you gain even without poles. It's not magic, it's healthy walking

Thanks, this is very useful! As a Nordic Walking instructor in Germany and a keen walker I am going to combine my English teaching with Nordic Walking.... so

there'll be "NordicWalkingEnglishTalking" here in Germany where we have many enthusiastic Nordic Walker

already

Glad you liked our posting. I would be quite interested in learning more about how you teach. You can reach me via my website: AdventureBuddies. NET

Wow! how did people ever manage to walk before without these amazing sticks?

[coolkayaker1]

Thank God for this video on how to walk with sticks. I've walked since I was a tiny baby, but never realized how wrong I was doing it. Instead of looking like a blonde Scandinavian Norseman, I must have appeared to be a circus chimpanzee all these decades. Embarrassing.

Great Video. I am sure that this technique can help to develop good balance and fitness.

Just one question, where can I buy the Walking Poles in India ?

I'm 21 and lost 8 kilos in 2 months with regular nordic walking trainings, and a change in dietary (eating more fruits, yoghurt, eating no junk food at all, nor chocolate) Problem is this sport is only popular among people over 40, when you do a complete training it has effect for almost 95% of your body muscles!

This is a great video with some key points which seperates nordic walking from conventional walking and trekking!

@michal7x7 Perhaps they place weights in the gators. They may be there as wind breakers. They may be protection against snake bites.
